Hi, all!

The Real file types are .rpm, .ram, .rm, .ra

.rpm and .ram are metafiles (brief text files) that tell the RealServer
where the media file is stored and whether to use a pop-up player or an
imbedded player.

.rm and .ra are the media files.

You can use RealProducer to encode .rm files, but this is used more for
sound on the web rather than for PowerPoint presentations. (See for example
http://www.npr.org)

According to the following website, .rmi is a sound file type similar to
MIDI.

So the .rmi would be used to add MIDI style music to a PowerPoint
presentation.

I don't believe it is a Real Networks product.

Cordially,
Karl
